Permalink Reply by Manny FU...Really!? on November 16, 2012 at 12:06pm I have ridden every day since March (when I decided to start riding the Schwinn Frontier I bought at Irv's Bike Shop last year) to save some money and get some exercise. This will be the first winter that I will try to ride through, no matter what (I am hoping !). Wish me luck !
BTW, The Artic Weather Survival Class I took while in the military had colder weather than i have experienced here in Chicago (Born & Raised)....so far. So, my issues will be controlling the bike and ensuring that I have the right tires.
Have a Great Day, Everyone !

Jennifer, I am tired of people telling me it is cold, especially when I am hot.
